Multi-day
KidsGames is run over many days. This is to give the children a
fun experience and to build lasting relationships, something which
cannot be done quickly.

There are many variations, but following are the most common models
used successfully by KidsGames:

· One day per week for 10 weeks

· One day per week for 5 weeks

· Every day for 10 days

· Every day for 5 days

Each KidsGames organizing committee is free to choose when and
how long they want their KidsGames to be. The details of what is
done in these days is covered later in this manual. The only exception
to the multi-day model is when a city does a trial one day KidsGames
for promotional or training reasons. These are normally a KidsGamesDay.

Multi-group
No KidsGames is done by just one group. The strength and purpose
behind KidsGames is to draw many different groups together. In some
cases this will mean 2 or 3 groups, in other cases it will mean
hundreds of groups. If the situation arises that only one church,
school, group or organization wants to be involved, run KidsGames
and invite other groups to observe with the hope of more partners
becoming involved next time.

Sport focused
Sport is a universal activity that draws countries and people together
in a unique way. This is particularly seen in the large global Sports
events, like the Olympic Games or the World Cup of Football. KidsGames
is a sports event that makes children the “heroes” and
the celebrities.
